You misunderstand
http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/svg/

"You can view the SVG using Opera 8 or newer. No plug-ins required!"

Opera had built in SVG support before Firefox.

Also the Adobe SVG plugin for Internet Explorer usually gets quietly
installed in the background on any computer with a newer version of Adobe
Acrobat.

Hope that helped clear things up.
